Creating an Office Oasis

The more time you spend on the job, the more important it is to make sure your workspace is designed with your health and well-being in mind (to say nothing of your productivity and effectiveness). Here’s how to create an environment that lets you work at the top of your game.

Long ago, our bodies were fully utilized as we hunted and gathered to make ends meet. We were in constant motion, with legs running free and minds jumping from one survival task to the next. We fed ourselves with foods directly from the earth, our lungs breathed fresh, clean air and our senses were indulged with ever-changing sights and sounds.

Fast-forward thousands of years—to make ends meet, modern man (and woman) is now placed indoors in a hermetically sealed building with stale, allergen-ridden air.
